Treatment of molecular relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia using clofarabine monotherapy

Am J Hematol. 2012 Feb;87(2):211-3. doi: 10.1002/ajh.22213. Epub 2011 Nov 4.

Abstract

Few studies have examined the treatment of molecular relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using different treatment regimens. We describe for the first time in the literature experiences with administration of clofarabine monotherapy in the treatment of eight patients with AML with molecular relapse of the disease.
